Reunited by Peach and Herb. I was searching for the "what song can you not get out of your head?" thread while listening to this, found this thread, and figured, well, I AM listening to it as well...

I remember a long time ago on Muppet Wiki, the topic of which version of the Sesame Street 25th anniversary special came first - the home video version or the PBS version - we were talking about the fact that the video had a 1993 date though some pointed out that some videos are known to have...

Last week the Mindset posted its annual article asking for contributors. I decided to use that opportunity to ask in a Facebook comment that I had sent a lot of articles last year that have not been put on the website. Instead of an answer (whether it's a reply that the Mindset didn't get my...

Okay, so just recently, I learned that George W. Bush won a Razzie Award for "worst actor" (or was it "worst supporting actor"?) for the movie Fahrenheit 9/11, but does he really qualify as an actor for that? As far as I know, all of the George W. Bush footage in that was taken from news...

Just after I posted this list, I thought that I should have included John Hurt, it would have been cool to see him interviewed by the Mindset or Tough Pigs, and then that night it was announced that he passed away.

Top ten things about Dumb and Dumber that I either musunderstood or was confused about when I first saw it. Some of it I think I understood after a few viewings, while others took years for me to fully understand (some not until a few years ago). 10. Why Harry wouldn't stop the car when Lloyd...

Recently I watched an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show that I had not seen in years, "Farmer Ted and the News", and I'm trying to understand why the station, especially Lou Grant, has a problem with Ted starring in local commercials. I know that Ted wants his contract changed so he could do...

Top ten people I most want to see interviewed by The Muppet Mindset: 10. Allison Bartlett 9. David Borgenect (Sesame Street Unpaved author) 8. Caroll Spinney 7. Jason Segel 6. Brian Meehl 5. Kenneth Lily (Palisades Toys developer) 4. Christopher Finch (author of three different non-fiction...

In memory of Mary Tyler Moore, here's top ten lists for her two biggest shows: Top ten episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show 10. Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid II 9. Look at Us, We're Walking 8. Love is All Around 7. Bess, I Am Your Daughter Now 6. The Last Show 5. Ted's Tax Return...

And also, how could I forget about Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Steelbeak from Darkwing Duck? Or Gaston from Beauty and the Beast? Or Scar from The Lion King?

In Back to the Future Part II, 2015 Biff figures out that Doc built a time machine. But wouldn't it be great if he'd figured out at that point that Marty and "Calvin Klein" are the same person, only in different points of time? Maybe he could have even told his young self to give "Calvin" an...

I forgot to list Biff Tannen from Back to the Future. Though now that I think of it, I think my least favorite version of Biff is the 1955 version, which is the second most villainous (after the 1985 A version).

Boris and Natasha (Rocky and Bullwinkle) Dr. Evil (Austin Powers) Constantine (Muppets Most Wanted) Nicky Holiday (The Great Muppet Caper) Sam and Sid Sleaze (Follow That Bird) Harry and Marv (Home Alone) Krang (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Darth Vader (Star Wars) Wile E. Coyote...

I remember you saying that a few times. And yet it seems since then that there have been more days when there's been no new posts than there have days of multiple posts (I actually forgot that they switched to a new format that allows it). Seems there's been quite a few weeks recently (and...

I am a bit worried. In the last half of last year, I have sent quite a few articles that have not appeared on the site. Not sure if Jarrod didn't get them or if they were rejected (I don't think any were "out there" in comparison to other articles I've done). Now some of my articles I sent in...

Its back up now, but for how long?

In thinking about the upcoming Elmo and Cookie Monster realize, I must ask, are there any segments starring both Elmo and Cookie Monster? They are the two most merchandised characters, but I can't really think of any segments where the two appear as a duo. I do know of some group numbers that...

Top ten Muppet/Henson things I like to talk/write/think about the most: 10. 1985 Playhouse Video Compilations 9. Follow That Bird 8. Dinosaurs 7. A Muppet Family Christmas 6. Muppet movies 5. Sam and Friends (and other early Henson stuff) 4. The Muppets (2015) 3. The Jim Henson Hour 2...

Coming April 4 is Elmo and Cookie Monster Supersized Fun, spotlighting both Cookie Monster and Elmo. This sounds like an exciting release (even if it doesn't have any classic clips, and there's no indication that it will). A few years ago, Toughpigs did an article about how Cookie Monster is...
